Having thought about the proposition proposed here, I have to disagree with the conclusion.
Abortion Is Not a purely religious issue. If the Declaration Of Independence is to be taken seriously, then the human life within the womb of the mother has rights!
To assert otherwise is totally ludicrous. Those who say that human life starts only after birth are treacherous liars. IMHO
Human life begins at conception, any other position is logically corrupt, and the proponent of such a view is incapable of thinking with clarity.
The family is the core, elemental unit of society. An attack on traditional marriage, and the family is an attack upon society’s stability. Pure and simple.
Both of these issues are at the center at the of Communist vs Western Civilization debate. By Western Civilization I mean that civilization and political philosophies handed down from Greek, Roman, Christian and European societies.
Abortion and the re-definition of Traditional Marriage are direct attacks upon the meaning and validity of the Declaration Of Independence for the furtherance of establishing State Power that wants to control Human existence and purpose from birth to death.
These are not “Wedge Issues”, they go to the heart of State vs Citizen relationship, and what Our Freedom means!
While I agree these are core values, they are not winning issues. We must win.
I am not one who likes to be right, but lose. I don’t have to give up any core values in order to focus on winning issues.
